Steps

  2. Loose baffle shown with arrowLook closely. This is a picture of a loose baffle. The arrow points to the location that the back end of the baffle should be on.

  4. Check for loose screws. See if you are missing any screws to the tumbler baffles. Locate missing screw(s)

  6. Place tumbler baffle back in secure position. Screw the tumbler baffle securely back into the proper position. Back together again
  7. You're done! This do-it-yourself easy repair will save you from $60 to $80, plus the dryer will run with less noise.

Tips

  • If you hear clanking noises from the inside of your dryer, run the dryer without clothes. If is still noisy, check the tumbler baffles.
  • If you need to replace missing screws, take out an existing screw and buy a comparably sized screw.

Warnings

  • Make sure that you disconnect your dryer from the wall outlet before you attempt any repairs. It's better to be safe than to be sorry.
  • Double check that all screws are replaced before running the dryer.

Things You'll Need

  • Basic tools that you probably already have around the house, like screwdrivers, socket wrench 1/4 and 5/16
